No matter which way you fall on the slots debate in Ontario, or the political spectrum, you have to feel for everyone in the business. In this clip, we see a snapshot into the face of the unemployed in horse racing. It's very sad.
One of the stable managers said "when you're having a bad day, you can come in and work with your favorite horse. It's good for your soul."
So many souls will be lost without the horses - especially in rural Ontario.
This video is really worth a watch. It was wonderfully done.
